transfer-encoding

I'm expiriencing some problem with one of my data source services. As it says in HTTP response headers it's running on Apache-Coyote/1.1. Server gives responses with Transfer-Encoding: chunked, here sample response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Encoding: gzip Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 06:13:52 GMT And problem is when I'm requesting server to send gzipped request it often sends not full response. I recieve response, see that last chunk recieved, but then after ungzipping I see that response is partial. I never

Using Varnish 4 , I have a set of backends that're responding with a valid Content-Length header and no Transfer-Encoding header. On the first hit from a client, rather than responding to the client with those headers, Varnish is dropping the Content-Length header and adding Transfer-Encoding: chunked to the response. (Interestingly, the payload doesn't appear to have any chunks in it - it's one contiguous payload). This causes serious problems for clients like Flash video players that are trying to do segment-size, bandwidth, etc analysis based on the Content-Length header. Their analysis

I was trying to understand more on Transfer-Encoding:chunked . referred some articles: http://zoompf.com/blog/2012/05/too-chunky and "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header in PHP . I still didn't get very clear picture. I understand setting this encoding allows server to set content in chunk to the browser and cause partial rendering of content at a time that makes web site responsive. If I've a web application that serves dynamic content (ex: JSF based web app) hosted on IBM WAS, most of the web pages are designed to server rich static content with lots of CSS and JS files + dynamic content. How

I used the following python code to download the html page: response = urllib2.urlopen(current_URL) msg = response.read() print msg For a page such as this one , it opens the url without error but then prints only part of the html-page! In the following lines you can find the http headers of the html-page. I think the problem is due to "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". It seems urllib2 returns only the first chunk! I have difficulties reading the remaining chunks. How I can read the remaining chunks? Server: nginx/1.0.5 Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 14:41:28 GMT Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8

The Problem I am serving a resource of unknown length via Node.JS. Because of this, the Content-Length header cannot be set. For HTTP 1.1, it is required that chunked encoding is used for resources of this nature. Node.JS knows this and sends my data with chunked transfer encoding all on its own, with the following headers: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: close ... This is all fine and good for well-behaved clients. However, I have some not-so-well behaved clients (namely Android 2.2 and earlier) that I must support. These clients do not support chunked transfer encoding
